Carroll v. Norwood

Opinion of the Court

Chase, Ch. J,

Can a tenant in common of an Undivided tract of land convey his moiety, describing the same by courses and distances? No. But if there had been a division, and he conveys by expressions, the deed must be located on the plots.

On motion of the plaintiff’s counsel, leave was given by the court to amend the plots; for which pur? pose a juror was withdrawn, &c, and the cause continued until next term, on payment of the coste of this term by the plaintiff.
